Today, 300 thousand people remained without central water supply in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
In the districts of Nikopol and Krivoy Rog, which are fed from the Kakhovka reservoir, more than a million people may be left without water. This was said by the head of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional Council Nikolai Lukashuk, reports Ukrinform.
“The district of Nikopol is 280 thousand people, including 40 thousand internally displaced people. If we talk about the district of Krivoy Rog, a large number of IDPs moved there, now almost 80 thousand people are registered in Krivoy Rog and the region. Another large number of people moved after the terrorist act on the dam. So we counted 850-900,000 people as of this morning (in the Krivoy Rog region, – ed.). That means more than a million people could be left without water,” he said.
In the Dnipropetrovsk region, 300 thousand people were left without a central water supply. The government allocated 159.7 million hryvnias to provide the region with imported water.
In the Nikopol district, where the water supply is almost entirely due to the Kakhovka reservoir, the situation is more complicated. Today in its largest cities – Nikopol, Marganets and Pokrov – 20-30 drinking water distribution points are organized, in addition, drinking and industrial water is provided by various types of transport, including the train
In the Krivoy Rog region, the situation is more stable. The city is supplied by 30% from another reservoir, the Karachuna, and the water for economical use can be enough for a month and a half.
It was previously reported that three sections of the water pipeline, 87 kilometers long, will be built in Ukraine to restore centralized water supply to cities and villages that have had water supply problems due to the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power dam station.
The Cabinet of Ministers has already allocated almost UAH 2.5 billion to provide water to the southern regions of Ukraine.
